What is Removing Duplicates?
Duplicate records occur when the same entity appears more than once in a dataset, often due to data entry errors or merging multiple sources. Removing duplicates ensures that counts, sums, and other aggregations are not inflated. Pandas provides drop_duplicates() and Excel provides a built-in remove duplicates tool for this.
